    Fun fact: this is how one of the biggest hushed scandal in the recent history of Poland went, and it was just one building, which wasn’t even build. “Afera Srebrna”. PiS planned to build a small-ish skyscraper in Warsaw using some set-up with foundations so it was not officially connected to the party and they used their people in state-owned companies to already promise renting space in this building for long years ahead, which would basically secure party funding for 20-30 next years.

    One, not big building in good localisation.

    Fortunately, it was blocked by the liberal president of city, Trzaskowski, who refused to allow the building to be built because it was too tall for that place urbanist plan. That’s why PiS absolutely hates him now.

    Again, this is just one building, which sheds some light on how unbelievable levels of corruption are in Poland and according to this thread, in America it’s much, much higher.
